A GREAT FLOODIN CHINA
THOUSANDS OF LIVES LOST AND
THOUSANDS HOMELESS.

People Huddled Along the Banks of
Yellow River Crying For Bread -
Over 1000 Square Miles of Once
Fertile Land Submerged by the
Rushing Waters.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 15.--The steamship
City of Sydney arrived this afternoon from
Hong Kong and Yokohoma. Chinese papers
give details of disaster occasioned by the
Yellow river overhowing its banks in the
province of Honan, and describe it as one
OF the most appalling occurrences in the
loss of life and property recorded in recent
times. The river broke its banks ON
the evening of Sept. 2S southeast of the city
of Chingchow and completely inundated
that city and other populou5 cities. The
whole area is now raging sea ten to thirty
feet deep, where it was once a densely
populated and rich plain. The former bed
of Yellow river is now dry and the present
lake was the bed of the river centuries ago.
The loss of life is incalculable and a state
ment is made by missionaries that millions
of Chinese are homeless and starving.
A PICTURE OF MISERY.
Thomas Patton, one of the American mis-
sionaries, writing from the province of
Honan under date of Oct. 2S, SAYS: 1.-THE
newly gathered crops, houses and trees are
all swept away, INVOLVING fearful loss of
life. Bread, bread, is the cry Of thousands
who are on the river bank Benevolent
people go in boats and throw bread among
the masses here and there, but it
is nothing compared with the requirements.
The mass of people is still being increased
by continual arrivals even more hungry
than the last There they sit stunned,
hungry and detected, without rag to wear
or a morsei of food Mat huts are being
erected for them. What it will be in two
months | cannot conceive. The misery is
increased owing to the bitter cold weather"
A TERRIBLE TITLE.
Yellow river has long been known as
China's sorrow and the present disaster has
served to reassert its right to the terrible
title. As yet the details of the disaster are
very meagre. 1t has occurred in the dis
trict where but few foreigners are, and the
reports furnished by the officials
and published in the Pekipg
Gazette, convey very mad
equate account of the extent of the loss
of life and property and the sufferings of
the survivors. The Governor in Honan re-
ports to the throne that nearly all the peo-
pie have been drowned in the district
reached by the water, the survivors being
those who escaped to the high ground or
took refuge in trees, where they remained
till they were rescued. The extent of ground
swept over by the overwhelming flood,
given in English figures, is over 1000 square
miles, and the land thus submerged formed
part of one of the richest and most densely
populated plains of Northern China.

IRELAND'S HARD FIGHT.

The Poor Law Guardians of Kildyhart

DUBLIN, Dec. 15.-United Ireland de-
clares that the government has secured
Mgr. Persico's aid in restraining Irish
priests from offering opposition to the
government, who as an equivalent will
endow Catholic university, re-
ceive papal envoy and send
an ambassador to the Vatican.
THE PERsICo STATEMENT REPEATED
The Cork Examiner makes a statement
similar to that of United ireland regard
ing Mgr. Persico, and says it has the highest
authority for its assertion.
At the trial of Mr.. Sheehy, Member of Par
lament to-day the defendants solicitor
called an opposing witness a perjurer, and
declared that the Magistrates We're sug-

give The solicitors language caused a

consider how to deal with his contempt.
The Board of Guardians of Kildyhart
have resolved to grant the use of the board

league, in defiance of the police authorities.
A meeting will be held with locked doors.

PARIS, Dec. 15.--The declaration of the

sole ambition is to continue the work of

measures for the repression of frauds ipjuri-
Gus alike to the Treasury and to French

A THIEF AS B00K-KEEPER
He STEALS 100000 DURING A
PERIOD OF TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.

The Manufacturers National Bank at
Philadelphia the Prey For His Pecu-
lations-He Earned Only 81 400 Per
Year, But Had to Refuse Many
Tempting Offers.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Dec. 15.-Joseph
Knight, bookkeepcr of the Manufacturers
National Bank on Third street, above Mar
ket, was taken before United States Com
missioner Edwards, at o'clock this after
noon, charged with stealing from the funds
of the bank between $4,000 and 1000.
The officers of the bank discovered Knights
deficiencies several weeks ago They placed
the case in the hands of Pinkertons Agen-
cy, and Knight was arrested a few
days ago. The matter was kept quiet by
the bank until to-day. IL is said that
Knight has been appropriating to his own
use the banks money for nearly twenty-five
years. Knight has been bookkeeper of the
Manufacturers Bank for thirty-five years,
and has always been considered a trust
worthy man.
John w Mofiy. President of the bank,
said that he first discovered that the books
were being falsifed on Dec. Q, the balance
sheet not coming out correct within about
$4,000.
WHY HE REFUSED PROMOTION.
President Notify said after the hearing
that Knight had for years been one of the
most trusted officers of the bank Although
he received a salary of but 81 400 per year,
his wifes relations were known TO be
wealthy, and no suspicion had been aroused
at the rather stylish manner in
which the embezzler had lived Sew
eral times, Knight had been offered
promotion but he had declined TO leave his
old position as he said that he was familiar
with his duties, and he did not care to take
up others. Within two years past the
prisoner had been offered the cashiership of
one of the new banks but he had declined
the place, although the salary was several
times greater than that which he was re-
ceiving IL is now evident why these offers
had been declined. Had Knight left his old
position for one month certain disclosures
and disgrace would have followed him.
WHERE THE MONEY WENT.
Mr.. Mofiy thinks that the money the de-
fendant took from the bank was used in bis
ordinary household expenses and in his
family
Knight is tall, fine looking man, with
an arlstocratic air and iron-gray side
whiskers. He is about GO years OF age. A
long, heavy gold watch chain wes displayed
on the ample front of his vest and be pre-
senteu d HloSb prosperous ana ReuIeel dp-
pearanee He has wife and several grown
children.
Knight has confessed that he began his
peculations in 1854. Mr.. Mofiiy explained
that the money was taken by the prisoner
directly from the depositors. When line
was formed there were often people who
were pressed for time or who did not want
to wait. Then they would ask Knight to
take it for them. This no would do and he
entered it correctly on the ledger, but
wouldn't report it to the teller

Despite the denial of this rumor, the stu

and ignored the authority of the university

THE EFFECT IN AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, Dec. l5.-The article which ap-
pears in the st, Petersburg Military Gazette
to-day on the military movements Of Rus
sia and her neighbors has excited great at
tention here. In official circles the opinion
is expressed that the article will cause no
change in the attitude of Austria The
government, it is believed, be-
fore taking actively responsive measures
of defense will wait to see whether Russia
continues her threatening military prepar-
ations A long interview during the week
between Count Kalnoky and the German
Ambassador led to accord between the two
governments on the decision of the Austrian
military council.
NOT UNDERESTIMATED.
The serious character cf the situation has
never been underestimated in Austrian Off
cial circles. The government has never
been unmndful of the duties which the
German alliance imposes, and in the face of
Russian ornaments the authorities have
never for a moment been idle But the gov
ernment is anxious to avoid as long as possi
be, measures capable of being in
terpreted by Russia as fact.
of provocation Preparations are COM
plete for the dispatch of REINFORCE
ments of cavalry to Galicia in the event Of
fresh movements of Russian troops The
erection of huts is now proceeding actively
along the line of defense. Timber which
has been lying in readiness since spring is
being utilized, and accommodations for re-
endorsements viii soon be provided.
Herr Won TeSSe, the Hungarian Premier,
has been summoned to Vienna to attend a
meeting of the Council of Ministers. 1t is
reported that the Council will discuss the
best means of obtaining funds in the event
of further military measures being neces-
sary.
WRITTEN AT THE CARS ORDER.
LONDON, Dec. 15.-It is reported that the
article published in the st. Petersburg
Military Gazette yesterday on Russian
military movements was written at the
Cars command by Gen. Krapotkine of
the grand general staff. The article has
created a bad impression throughout

CABINET CHANGES.
Why None OF Them Have Been A cted
on by the Senate Yet.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The nominations
of Messrs. Lamar and Villas, have not been
acted upon by the Judiciary Committee for
the simple reason that this Committee has
not met since they were referred to it. Mon
day is the regular meeting day Of the
Judiciary Committee. 1t may not take
up these nominations until then. Mean
while the Finance Committee, which has
agreed to report favorably Secre-
tary Fairchild's nomination will re-
port il, but the Post Office Com
mittee, which has agreed to report Don w.
Dickinson's nomination as Post Master Gen
eral, will withhold its report and so
there will be no complications
growing out of the confirmation of Mr.
Dickinson, while the others are still pending.
Mr. Lamar is the only one whose confrma-
ton is at all doubted. and it is not really
doubtful. The Judiciary Committee will
probably report in his favor, but even if it
does not he will be confirmed It will only
take two Republican votes to do this, and
he can command half dozen.
